From scrimmages to international competitions, athletes need to be able to quickly and effectively prime their body for performance. In this video, Scott MacKay, Head Athletic Trainer for the Beach National Teams, guides athletes through tips and tools to help enhance travel and preparation of their body for competition. MacKay emphasizes traveling with the right “tools” (e.g., neck pillow, eye mask, headphones) to help you adjust your sleep to new time zones, engaging in consistent movement during travel, and the importance of dynamic exercises to loosen up your body upon arrival. MacKay also provides recommendations for athletes who find themselves hurt or ill after competition travel. 0:00 – Introduction 0:28 – First Experiences Playing Overseas 1:40 – Biggest Adjustments Moving Internationally 3:05 – Daily Routine in a New Country 4:30 – Handling Travel Disruptions and Fatigue 5:55 – Training and Competing in Different Systems 7:20 – Building Consistency on the Road 8:45 – Lessons Learned from International Play 10:05 – Advice for Athletes Considering Going Abroad 11:25 – Final Thoughts and Takeaways
